Israel-Gaza war: US expresses support for UN aid resolution - BBC News

The US has expressed support for the UN's latest draft resolution on humanitarian aid for Gaza - a vote for which is expected later today.

The original draft called for a sustainable cessation of hostilities, but the final version calls for creating the conditions for one.

It comes as the World Food Programme says Gaza is at risk of famine within six months if the conflict doesn't end.

Earlier this week, the Hamas-run Gaza government said 20,000 people had been killed in the enclave since the war erupted.
